Hey guys,
Today,I decided to share with you a poem that I wrote that has to do with feminism as we made a response video discussing issues such as inner beauty and self esteem and I thought it would be good to remember that gender equality has a lot to do with self esteem as women all these time are literally suffocating to feel free , to be able to wear whatever they want and feel good in their own bodies no matter what. I was especially inspired by a phrase that Kalel said that she wants to wake up next to her boyfriend beautiful with fake lashes and I think this mindset is very negative for the self esteem of so many young and impressionable girls.

So here is the poem

We deserve the world ,

because we have fought for this ,

year after year after year...

And we are here again fighting for liberation one more time ,

one more little step at a time ,

because the power we have shines everyday!

So thank you so much , if you like this video please give it a big thumbs up and share your opinion on this issue on the comments section.

Hey guys , today I decided to talk a little bit about my experience with Pride which is a parade of people supporting the rights of LGTBQ+ people and they are usually a part of that community .
I've been to two prides in Athens (2015-2016) so I thought it would be great to share my experience with you. We've also made a video that you can find here and you should really watch it to feel the vibe of the rainbow :)

First of all, I've had an amazing time to both years as I was with some great people so it really matters to go with people who truly accept you and are passionate as you are for coming to this event .
The good thing about this event is that you can truly be who you are in terms of styling, hair , makeup etc. You can wear all these glossy outfits and glittery makeup that you were too hesitant all these time and feel great .The vibe is really positive , everyone is dancing , its a colorful parade with all types of people from different backgrounds and identities.
So when it comes to the tips I would like to give to those who are considering going to these type of events , at first, give yourself some time to research issues such as sexual orientation ,gender identities ,asexuality and others .This will help you to be more open minded and avoid any misconception .Another tip is to find a group of people who want to come with you but not meet them there ! Don't make that mistake , there is going to be more people that you have expected so in order to avoid stress and panic meet them before the event somewhere more quiet.
Maybe your parents are not very supportive to these types of demonstrations , my advice to that is either sit down with them and explain why you want to go and how important it is for you or talk to another adult that can talk to them .I'm not going to advice you to lie to them because that might bring a lot of problems if they find out . For example last year a guy from my group of friends couldn't tell his parents about pride so he came without letting them know which occurred into his mother furiously searching for him all over the parade !
So that were my tips so far , let me know what is your experience with pride and how things are in your country.
Stay tuned :)
XOXO
Anna

Hey guys ,
Welcome back to my blog,
Today while I was debating whether to share my new video with you I had a flashback , two years ago when I was passionate about blogging my outfits I've written an article called "22 random facts about me"You can read it here (this is getting embarrassing alright?) I've changed a lot during this time but my motto is still the same "Never compromise , and always be unique ) .
However, I have no idea why have I written how optimistic I'm as a person .
OPTION A
I wanted badly to see things positively
OPTION B
I became a grumpy cat who hates school and people later
And now I want your full attention , and excitement as this year aka 2016 I'm presenting 10 random facts as well !
But , in the video I'm not of course by myself I have my awesome bestfriend and YouTube partner with me :) And I'm so damn grateful for this .
So be sure to check it out ! Subscribe , like , share ! We love dis ones and we really try to create a network so please share it if you liked it.

Hey guys,
This week is about to end , for those who follow me on YouTube you probably
know that this is the end of the “Styling week” , yes we do separate our
channel based on weekly themes.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about you can check out each video.

I wanted to share these with you as we took so many photos
and had so much fun in the process.
In addition, I want to ask you to watch them and maybe subscribe to our channel
as we did a tremendous amount of work to get them.
You possibly think that making YouTube videos is something very easy and fast
to do but I’m telling you the styling and editing for the two lookbooks took us
around 2, 5 weeks because we had to go to the same place again and again around
5 times and the editing that it required was so much.
Moreover, I had no clue how to split the images for my first video so it took
me around 5 hours just searching for the appropriate software! But I’m not
complaining as I’m sooo excited to share them with you ;) So please watch them
and tell me your opinion.
We will really appreciate any help by clicking our ads on before the video as
we are trying very hard to earn some money to fund our studies .
Also , any feedback or suggestion is more than desirable.

Have fun during the weekend, don’t drink and drive and I’ll
see you soon ;)

Hey guys !
As I've traveled you back in time with the Worst middle school outfits today we have another styling video , but this time its something more relevant to my current style :)
It's called "Alternative Summer Outfits" and it's a small video :)
I thought it would be nice to do one of them as many people have no idea what to wear this hot season!

Hey guys , I'm possibly taking you back in time when every creepy styling choice seemed like a great idea , you know what I'm talking about ... the awesome middle school period !
YAAAS
In our new video we're basically making of ourselves back then !
I think watching what we used to wear will give you a good laugh ... I promise https://youtu.be/Fpbw8tmfyWo

So tell me guys on the comments what you're thinking and which was your worst styling option that you would like to forget !
Xoxo Anna
